Addie is fantastic!! We met her twice before we left town just to be sure things were all set— and our dog loves her. We were flexible about where she stayed with our dog- her house or ours- because we were gone for 16 days. She did everything she could to make sure we were comfortable with her. She sent pictures, responded quickly to texts, and Levi’s know how everything was going. Additionally, Addie is a genuinely nice person who is driven in her work as a dancer. We were very impressed with her. We are looking forward to many more trips, knowing our dog is safe and well loved in our absence.

My little Pugsley was so well taken care of! Jennifer is great! And apparently he loved Tilly so much, he whined the whole way home wanting to go back!

I have been using Nancy now over a handful of separate times. I travel a good bit for work and leisure pleasure and my dog needs someone to watch my baby❤️. Nancy is absolutely a blessing, as she goes as far as to come and pick Ezra up from my residence as driving is difficult for me. Each time she has come to pick my dog up, Ezra is always super super excited to see her and pulls me all the way to Nancy’s car in order to give her a ton of kisses.

We went out of town for a week leaving our one year old Bulldog with Nef. He came to meet our dog and even accommodated transportation. My dog is very picky on who she likes however it was love from first sight. This was the first time we had to board our dog and now we have our go to person for life. Thanks Nef for the outstanding service!

Maggie is sweet! Our dog seemed to have a great time with her, her dog, and cats. Her dog took a bit of time to warm up to our dog, but it seemed they became good friends shortly thereafter.

This was the first time I had left my five-year-old corgi since adopting him five months ago. Laura gave him all the attention and walks he needed. My only disappointment was that he wasn’t more excited to see me when I got back! He will definitely remember Laura next time.

Isabella was amazing!! I was so nervous and it was a last minute booking, but she made it easy. She sent daily update with pictures of him living his best life as requested. She communicated quickly and efficiently. I know Barley had a great time and was treated like royalty in her care which is all I ever want for my fur baby. We will for sure be using Isabella in the future.

We had a great experience with Kath and Jordan! They were able to accommodate our three dogs for almost a week, and our dogs got along wonderfully with their own beautiful pets. Kath and Jordan kept us updated with regular pictures, which really put our minds at ease knowing our dogs were in good hands. They have a spacious yard for the dogs to run and play, making it a great environment for them. We highly recommend Kath and Jordan and will definitely book with them again!

John was an amazing sitter who kept us updated multiple times a day with pictures and updates, even when we couldn’t be as responsive. He offered Teddy healthy treats on the regular and treated him like his own. Five stars! We will definitely be reaching out to him again for future sitting needs.

Jacob is an excellent pet sitter. He is reliable, communicative and has a great personality & disposition for this. I was visiting Lexington and needed someone to watch my kitty cat. I got regular updates and photos which set my mind at ease while I worked. I really appreciate his extra care with my pet. Thank you so much. I would be booking again next time I visit the area.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years and have experience pet sitting for multiple families, including drop-in visits and overnight care. I’ve cared for cats regularly over several years, watched dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I also volunteer through Doggy Day Out at the shelter, where I help walk and socialize dogs, and I grew up with a family dog, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience incorporating caregiving and pet care into my daily routine and enjoy creating consistent schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I am organized, dependable, and make it a priority to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My schedule allows me to provide regular walks, check-ins, enrichment, and quality time, and I always work to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, and receive plenty of attention, enrichment, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and outdoor areas secure, being attentive during walks and potty breaks, and cleaning litter boxes as needed. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel informed, reassured, and connected while away.

We had such a great experience with our dog sitter! Aubrey took amazing care of our dogs and really went above and beyond. Our pups got plenty of walks, even special treats like pup cups, and we loved getting all the pictures and updates! It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely care about our dogs, and their setup is fantastic. Safe, comfortable, and perfect for keeping the dogs happy and active. We came home to very happy pups and will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!

Kathryn took great care of my high maintenance dogs. She watched my two aging dogs for a week. Both dogs take special medications daily. These range from pills, chews, eye drops and even Insulin. My diabetic dog has a continuous blood glucose monitor she was able to use to track blood sugars. She would message me promptly if she had any questions on how many units of insulin to give depending on what her blood sugars were reading. They also have special diets and have home made food they eat daily. She was able to keep them on their schedules with feedings and medications. She was excellent with sending updates and photos to help ease my anxious mind while away. Upon picking them up they seemed super relaxed in her home and excited to see me. I would not hesitate to have her provide care for them again in the future.
